[quote=Anonymous]You and your friend or coworker live comfortably in a $700,000 house. Suppose your friend that earns the same as you suddenly buys a $2 million house. What are the thoughts running through your head? This hasn't happened to me but this is what I would think: 1.) I am very happy for the person. 2.) I hope they invite me back again because I LOVED the swimming pool or the sauna or the gym or the movie theatre or the gourmet kitchen etc. etc. And now I can enjoy it for free! 3.) How in the world did they afford this place? Are they smuggling drugs? Are they internet hackers? Something is fishy! 4.) This person is going through a midlife crisis. Even if I could afford this, I would never buy this ridiculous McMansion. Other reactions might be: 5.) This person is out of my league. I don't want to come back. 6.) I can't invite this person to my house because my house looks stupid by comparison. 7.) Act as if nothing has changed. As if they had the same $700,000 house they had before. If you get invited for dinner, do you bring nothing (the person is too rich anyways), do you bring the usual stuff (average bottle of wine), do you bring the luxury goods because this is going to be an amazing dinner in an amazing place. Do you say: No Thanks, because you no longer wish to associate with this person. Any real life experiences as the guest or the host? [/quote]
